IMPROVE!) SPRING' BBD-BOTTOM.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame *are- To all whom 'it rmay concern Be it known that I, CHARLES T'.BAADE, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, haveinvented a new and improved Spring Bed-Bot tom; and l doI hereby declaret-hat4 the following is a l'ull, clear, and ,exact description thereof,which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the saine,reference being had' to the accompanying drawing forming' part of thisspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in the coristruction andarrangement'of spring bed-bottoms, in which longA wood slats or springsand 4spiral wire .springs areused in combination for the'head and eenterof the bottom, the foot ends of the wood springs being arranged to reston a wood bolster or crosspiece ofthe frame, and the head ends beingbent and suitably shaped to'be sed in.A substitution of the stuffedbolster sometimes used.

Figure 1 is aside elevation of my improved -springi other straps, E,traversing the transverse'pieces B,

above the seats, and tacked thereto, under which the Vbottom @cils efthe springs are forced into theseats,

and from under which they may be readily withdrawn for taking thebottomapart. l

The transverse pieces B of the frame are prevented from rising up out ofthe boxings bythe long rods F sliding over them, and through' staples Gon the bars A.`

. The wood springs I, ranging lengthwise of the bed,

rest at the' head end and at suitable intermediate parts toward theother end onthese springs O, which are connected to them by. shortstraps, H, inthe same manner that they are connected to the bars B,

but no sockets are made in them for the springs.

The foot ends of the springs I rest on the transverse bar K, and haveslots receiving staples L in the said bar up through them, so that aconlining rod, M, may be passed through them about the springs.

This bar K is contined between blocks, N, on the bars A', by a pin ateach end.

The springs I'are bent upward at :the head end, as clearly shown in fr.1, so as to elevate that end of the'bed sufficiently to dispensewith thestuffed bol sters sometimes used.

Near the head ends the springs'are connected .Itogether by a wide strap,P, and a narrow one, Q, the latter looping over/the springs, and thetwo'being vwoven together by the passage of the narrow one through slotsiu the other, and the ends are brought down to the rails A, and hitchedtheretoso` as to prevent undue lateral motion ot' the springs.

It will be observed that these arrangements arel such that all the partsc an be readily put together or taken apart',` as may be required insetting the bed-- bottoms up for use, or taking them down for moving orstorage. Y

` Having thus described my invention,

I claim as new and desire to secure `by Letters i Patent- Thecombination of frame A B, spiral springs C, straps E H P Q, wood springsI, transverse bar K, blocks N, when said parts are constructed andarranged, with respect to each other, in the manner set forth.

The above specicatiolrof my invention signed by me this 6th day ofJanuary, 1870.
